“…Additionally, women were asked if they were currently using contraceptive methods (i.e., pills, injections, vaginal ring, implants, or intrauterine devices) some of which have been found elsewhere to be positively associated with CRP (Buchbinder et al, 2008;de Medeiros et al, 2018;Divani et al, 2015). Only one participant reported current use; as the individual was using a contraceptive injection that is not known to be significantly associated with CRP (Al-Youzbaki, 2011;Fajumi, 1984), her data were retained in the analyses. Study data were collected and managed using Research electronic data capture (REDCap) electronic data capture tools (Harris et al, 2009(Harris et al, , 2019 hosted at Yale University.…”

Objectives: C-reactive protein (CRP) has been associated with adiposity and cardiometabolic disease risk in many populations but remains remarkably understudied in Pacific Islander populations. Here, we provide the first examination of correlates of CRP in adult Samoans (n = 108, ages 35-55 years) to test the hypotheses that CRP exhibits sex-dependent associations with measures of BMI, adiposity, and cardiometabolic disease risks.Methods: We analyzed associations between measures of adiposity (total fat mass, visceral fat mass, percent total body fat), body mass index (BMI), cardiometabolic risks, behaviors, demographics, and CRP. Unadjusted analyses of CRP were undertaken using Pearson's pairwise, and Spearman's rank correlations; one-way analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis tests assessed variables by CRP quartiles. Adjusted analyses of CRP correlates were examined using generalized linear regression.Results: Serum CRP ranged from 0.08 to 13.3 mg/L (median 1.4 mg/L) and varied significantly by sex t (108) = À2.47, p = .015. CRP was weakly to moderately associated with measures of adiposity and BMI (r and ρ ranged between 0.25 and 0.50, p < .05) and some cardiometabolic markers (including HbA1c,

Objective To determine the concentration of haptoglobin (Hp) in peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with and without endometriosis and its correlation with the phase of the menstrual cycle. The expression of Hpβe (determined by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) was correlated to total PF Hp concentration. Materials and methods PF samples were obtained from 240 women with or without endometriosis. PF Hp concentration was measured by a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Hpβe expression in PF was estimated by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Results PF Hp concentration was similar in women with and without endometriosis; it was significantly higher during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle than in the follicular phase in control subjects, but not in women with endometriosis. There was a positive correlation between serum progesterone level and PF Hp concentration in control subjects during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. There was a mild positive correlation between PF Hp concentration and Hpβe expression in controls but not in women with endometriosis. PF Hp concentration was not correlated with the ASRM stage of endometriosis and the type of endometriotic lesions. Conclusions Women with and without endometriosis have similar PF Hp concentration. There is a mild positive correlation between PF Hp concentration and Hpβe expression in control subjects but not in women with endometriosis. Future investigations should aim to produce antibodies against specific epitopes of Hpβe that might allow its measurement by ELISA. (Journal of Endometriosis 2010; 2: 26–32)
